I would caution anyone who would approach the school for accomodations based on this not to go it alone. I would recommend first consulting with a child psychologist who is experienced with issues of HG/PG.

I would obtain an educational advocate to make sure the laws locally will help not hinder your efforts. Also, this person may have professional experience to share about how similar efforts were received by the school.

Be prepared for the school to possibly assert that the emotional problems are intrinsic to the child, even the cause of the home situation and the school has not caused any of it.

Personally, I would be very careful asserting anything like this to any school administrator/teacher unless I was already ahead of the game in planning and ready for things to possible become adversarial. Plan for the worst and hope for the best.

good luck.
